AMU'S CHICKEN KORMA
This Bangladeshi-style chicken korma, named for my mother, Amu, is gently spiced and enriched with yogurt instead of cream or nuts, resulting in a light and bright sauce. This style of braising adds very little liquid, allowing the chicken to stew in its own juices. For full flavor, cook the korma until the fat breaks out of the sauce and pools on the surface. Keep it traditional and serve with paratha or rice, or pull the meat off the bones and pile between mayo-slathered white bread to make a chicken korma sandwich - and, of course, cut on a diagonal.

Steps:
- Cut onion in half, trim off the root, and thinly slice one half from root to stem. Set aside. Roughly chop the remaining onion half and purée in a blender, adding as little water as needed to blend until smooth. Pour into a small bowl. Set aside.
- In the same blender (no need to wash it out), purée ginger, garlic, yogurt and kosher salt, adding as little water as needed to blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Set aside. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, add to bowl with yogurt purée and toss with your hands to coat.
- In a medium Dutch oven, pot or karahi over medium-high heat, add ghee and reserved sliced onions, and cook, stirring often, until crisp and deeply browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. (The onions will continue to brown after removing from heat, so scoop them out of the pot when they are a shade lighter than the desired final color.) Leaving behind the fat, transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, and spread them out so they cool down quickly and don't clump together.
- Add the onion purée, coriander, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and a big pinch of kosher salt to remaining ghee and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until deeply browned and aromatic, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add chicken, scraping in all the yogurt marinade, and stir to coat in onion paste. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken releases its liquid, about 10 minutes. Partly cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is falling off the bone, the sauce is thick and creamy, and the fat breaks out of the sauce, about 30 to 35 minutes. (You want it to be saucy but thick. Add water a splash as a time, if needed, while cooking.)
- Add green chiles, three-fourths of the reserved frizzled onions and more kosher salt to taste. Gently stir to combine. Cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with remaining frizzled onions, and serve with paratha, rice, or as a sandwich by pulling the meat off the bone, dressing in the korma sauce, and placing between mayonnaise-slathered sliced of untoasted bread. Serve with Cucumber-Tomato Salad or additional raw onion, green chile and yogurt. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium-low heat with a splash of water.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions in oil until soft.
- Place onion, yogurt, mango chutney, garlic, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, and into the bowl of a food processor. Process into a smooth sauce; it should be about the consistency of thick cream. Add a bit of water or yogurt to thin it if needed. Spread chicken into prepared baking dish, and pour the onion sauce over the chicken.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top, and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your chicken korma. Use fresh, organic chicken, and choose aromatic spices. Fresh ginger and garlic will give your dish a more vibrant flavor.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in yogurt, spices, and herbs will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking. A Dutch oven or large saucepan works well.
- Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before simmering it will help to develop its flavor. Brown the chicken in a little oil over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on all sides.
- Simmer the chicken: Simmer the chicken in a flavorful sauce until it is cooked through. The sauce should be thick and creamy. Medium-low heat is the best temperature for simmering.
- Add the cream and nuts: Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the cream and nuts. This will give the dish a rich and creamy texture. Avoid boiling the cream as it may split.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the chicken korma with fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Chicken korma is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of sides. It is a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a restaurant-quality chicken korma at home.
